yeah, the 10 looper looks pretty sweet, it even has an airtime hill!


You get about as much airtime out of that as a Trim'd woody [lol]

Vekomas and Arrows have airtime, thats whats so great about them [;)], now if that was a B&M hill, you would probably experience +3gs at the top of it [lol]

LOL IF, I like the airtime on the Vekoma loopers, but a lot of it (not really airtime but hangtime) is kinda painful. Even though it is kinda painful, it still if fun.

Yep, they do have some good air. But they do kinda hurt. They're still cool tho.

Yeah, the hangtime on Arrow/Vekoma corks are great, the only inversion besides heartlines that provide positive, lateral, and negative gs [:)]

I like it on the corkscrews sumtimes when it goes really slow and you get hangtime when the train is sideways.

Stealth was relocated from PGA to Carowinds, and got a new name (BORG Assimilator) and a new paint job.

They replaced our "First Flying Coaster" with a small waterpark. Hopefully, this can open up an opportunity for NorCal to get another Flyer.

It was a 'business decision' though that thing had 2 Hour+ waits.
